SLiM ("Selection on Linked Mutations") is software designed for conducting forward-in-time genetic simulations of eco-evolutionary scenarios. It allows researchers to simulate complex population genetics models, accommodating both Wright-Fisher and non-Wright-Fisher models.
SLiM supports various evolutionary processes, including mutation, recombination, migration, and genetic drift,[1] selection on fecundity or survival,[2] and is designed to enable users to explore the dynamics of genomes under different selective pressures and demographic events of one or multiple populations and species.[3]
The SLiM also offers a scripting language, Eidos, which provides customization options for defining evolutionary parameters and interactions within and between populations. Almost all information regarding Eidos and SLiM are available in the SLiM[4] and Eidos manuals.[5]
